Platelet changes after a saturated fat meal and their prevention by Dazmegrel, a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor. 1987

J J Belch, and A R Saniabadi, and K McLaughlin, and C D Forbes

A saturated fat meal was given to 10 normal males both before and after pretreatment with UK38,485, a thromboxane synthetase inhibitor (Dazmegrel, Pfizer Central Research, Sandwich, Kent, United Kingdom). Following the fat meal at 2 and 4 hr there was laboratory evidence of platelet activation. Dazmegrel lowered baseline platelet activity and lessened platelet activation following the fat meal. This drug should be investigated further as a potential antithrombotic agent.
